If you prioritize a larger, ultrawide screen for an immersive gaming and media experience and are ready to invest more, the Acer Predator X45 with its wide screen and high contrast could be a solid choice. On the other hand, if you're looking for a high-performance gaming experience with excellent color accuracy, and a more budget-friendly option, you might prefer the Gigabyte FO27Q3. The Gigabyte is also well-suited for digital photo and HDR video editing. However, for tasks requiring clear text, like productivity, both monitors are less ideal, with the Acer being worse in this regard. Give Feedback
